Vette(s): MM Red 1971 T-top,LS5,4-speed, black leather C5 seats, Hooker sidepipes.
Previous: 64 Coupe, 65 Roadster L76 / N14
"Penny" got her name 'cause she's RED and cost me a pretty penny! 
Mama hates "the other woman." She'd be happy to see her gone.
She also thinks that guys who name cars are crazy. I name all of the "special" ones (not hers). They all have a personality.

Mine is "Little Suzy" or just "Suzy"

It came to be when I was planning and doing the mild engine build up. Very often when I spoke to someone of the project I kept hearing "That will wake it up" Then there is the song, "Wake up Little Suzy, wake up"
Okay it may be spelled differently, but hey, I can do that.
So there you go. And while not a race car, Suzy did wake up. Now she shines too! 
Guess that means Suzy did the old Rise and Shine! 
I just call it the "Pacer" don't know if thats really a name but thats how I refer to it

I had never named my Vette until I joined this site. My wife has called it a few things from time to time, but we won't go there. After all this is a family show!
TargaBlue72 just seemed to fit for obvious reasons.

Vette(s): 1972 conv, 4-speed, 350, 200hp, numbers match, rally wheels, war bonnett yellow w/white top. good condition, nice driver.
When we got ours it was charcoal grey/black. I decided it should be the original color since the grey color was a disgrace. WAR BONNETT YELLOW is correct color sooo. My daughter names EVERYTHING, so the bumper car became BONNIE. I do not care what its called as long as it is not derogatory. Seein this ones a "girl" the next one will be a boy. Its also the only one we have so its our favorite.

[/QUOTE] Sounds like a Governmental bond issue wheres da moneyMy wife bestowed the name "Happy" on my corvette. She named her that because I tend to smile alot when I am driving the corvette and driving the car makes me "happy".
